Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Lenny" guitar goes up for auction.
« on: June 16, 2004, 05:08:15 PM »
The ONLY guitar from the Estate of SRV to go on sale to the public.  The guitar is "Lenny", used to record the song of the same name and also "Riviera Paradise."  It was a gift to Stevie from his wife Lenny thus he named it so.

Lenny, ~1965 Fender Stratocaster composite.

man i was banned from the o-club during most of the umm black days a while back.

that poor guy is drooling right now though LOL. keep an eye out for new members posting in this topic.


on topic, i put the selling price above $50,000, maybe even $75,000

it doesnt have the correct tremelo (at least all other SRV models i have seen had the left handed version with the tremelo bar near the low E string)
I don't know what to put here yet.

I am reasonably sure Mr Black isn't Diablo. I can't say for certain that Diablo isn't Mr. Black. :D

I am thinking more in the $200,000 to $400,000 area.  I am betting also that KWS will win the auction.  I'd give anything to get my hands on it.
